Overview

The Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has released a gazette detailing the number of electors enrolled in each division across Australia as of 30 June 2018. This gazette was enacted to ensure transparency and accuracy in electoral data, providing a comprehensive overview of the electoral enrolment statistics for each state and territory. The data includes the total number of enrolled electors in each division, alongside the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment, facilitating a clear understanding of the distribution of electors. This information is critical for the fair and effective administration of elections, ensuring that electoral boundaries are equitable and that the representation of voters is as accurate as possible. The gazette is a product of the Australian Electoral Commission, an independent body responsible for the administration of federal elections in Australia, reinforcing the importance of electoral integrity and adherence to the principles of democratic representation.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) gazette C2018G00538 outlines the number of electors enrolled in each division across various states and territories in Australia as of 30 June 2018. This Act applies to all divisions within the states and territories of Australia and is concerned with the electoral enrolment data for these divisions. It provides specific details about the enrolment numbers and the percentage deviation from the average divisional enrolment for each division. This information is crucial for ensuring accurate representation and the fair distribution of electoral resources. The Act does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds; it simply provides a comprehensive breakdown of enrolment data. Additionally, the application of this Act is not extended or restricted through any subordinate instruments. The geographic reach of this legislation is national, covering all states and territories within Australia, thereby ensuring a uniform and comprehensive electoral enrolment record across the country.

Key Provisions

This document, under s58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, sets out the number of electors enrolled in each Division for each State and Territory as at 30 June 2018, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation from this average. For instance, in New South Wales, the enrolment figures for each Division are given alongside the percentage deviation from the average enrolment of 110,876 (Section 1). The obligations under this Act include the responsibility of the Electoral Commissioner to determine these figures and publish them, ensuring transparency and accuracy in electoral data (Section 2). This helps maintain the integrity of the electoral process by providing a clear and detailed account of electoral enrolments across different regions. The Act does not explicitly detail specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches in this particular document. However, under the broader framework of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, there are provisions that address electoral offences and their penalties. For example, offences related to electoral fraud, such as providing false information or tampering with electoral materials, can result in criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment. Civil consequences may also arise for violations of electoral laws, potentially leading to legal actions seeking redress or compensation (Section 3). The detailed enrolment data, along with the percentage deviations from average enrolments, serve to inform the public and relevant authorities about the distribution of electors, aiding in the planning and conduct of fair and representative elections. This data is crucial for ensuring that electoral boundaries and resources are appropriately allocated, reflecting the actual population distribution across different divisions (Section 4).
